MTH-2110 - Concepts of Geometry and Algebra for Teachers (4)

Prerequisite: MTH 2100

This continuation of MTH 2100 explores and develops concepts associated with two- and three-dimensional spatial relationships and geometry. Topics include proportional reasoning, measurement, congruence, similarity, proof, transformations, and contributions of geometry to thinking. Students continue exploration from MTH 2100 into algebraic concepts and emphasis in placed on patterns, problem solving and reasoning. Students are required to use a dynamic geometry program on a computer or calculator and to spend time outside of class in a computer lab. Aspects of the NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics are incorporated into all topics. Each student is required to teach a mathematics lesson in an elementary or middle school classroom, and may be required to work outside the class to complete some assignments. A service learning component is also included in this course.
